Powershell select filenames that match
List all filenames that match a pattern but can't seem to get it to list only the files I need I am eventually going to replace the filter with user input
$src = $env:ININ_TRACE_ROOT
$cmp = $env:COMPUTERNAME
$dst = $env:USERPROFILE + "\Desktop\" + $cmp
$lDate = Read-Host "Which Date?"
$s2 = $src + "\$ldate\"
$filter = "ip"
Get-ChildItem -Path $s2 | Where-Object { $_.Name -match $filter } | Select Name
Tried the above problem is it returns

ip_2.zip
ip_3.zip
ip_4.zip
ip_5.zip
ip_6.zip
ip_7.zip
ip_8.zip
ip_9.zip
Any ideas on how to achieve this
Updated using this now returns the list but is there a better way to do it?
$filter = "^ip[^server][^db][^ininlog_journal]"
Also this works but missing the non ip.zip
$filter = "^ip_[0-9]"

Since -match uses a regular expression, you should be able to write something like this:
get-childitem $s2 | where-object { $_.Name -match '^ip' }
(i.e., match when the Name property starts with ip).
See the about_Regular_Expressions help topic for more information.
